Most of our holidays have been in Europe, this summer we went to the Ziller Taller region of Austria.
In October 2007 we traveled by night train down to Livorno in Italy for the week, we managed to visit Pisa and spent a day conquering Rome by foot!
Summer 2008 we had a wonderful camping trip to Normandy, staying just outside of Mont St Michel – well worth a visit. Then we moved on to the UK and on the last night our tent was destroyed in the night by a major storm that blew along the south coast. In the early hours of the morning we were sat in the car laughing our heads off ! Not sure why but the whole thing seemed hilarious, at least none of the family was hurt.
Who knows where we will be going next year ?
Since moving to Germany the family have been doing many sport activities, these include Rollerblading, Cycling and winter Skiing.
Last year I went to watch an old-boys Rugby tournament and enjoyed it very much, I got chatting to one of the players and was invited to join them for training.
One year on and I have played in several games and go training regular.
Our youngest son, Mark, has also been getting involved in the Rugby training and in August 2009 started training with Frankfurt SC 1880 U18s. Looking forward to watching him in his first game!
Now that we have a dog the main activity will be walking.
We moved to Germany in April 1998, we only intended to be here for a couple of years but have now been here for 11 years !!
Our three children have been going to the local German school instead of an international school and have learned German, there English is pretty good as this is the language used at home. Sometimes it has been difficult as the kids have argued with each other in German as they know we cannot keep up with them.
